Dear Elizabeth & Family, I went to HHS with Roger, he sat right behind me in homeroom. I remember him fondly, he always had a warm smile, and was very kind, never mean. I'm sure he was the same as an adult. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you in this time of great loss.Karen Smith

To the family of Roger Smith, I extend my most heartfelt sympathy and feeling of loss at this most difficult of times. Roger was a mathematics student of mine at Holliston High School who displayed a strong aptitude in logical thinking coupled with a most positive work ethic. It was most satisfying to have taught such a true academic gentleman. My prayers are for his Eternal Rest and comfort to his family.

Dear Elizabeth and Family,
It is with deepest sympathy that I send this message. Roger was a student in two of my science classes at Holliston High School. Roger was a dedicated student with an amazing work ethic. Roger was a soft spoken young gentleman with a very subtle sense of humor and great ability; and it was an honor to challenge and teach him. He will be greatly missed.
Fifteen plus years ago I too loss my spouse to cancer. It was a horrible situation and the loss devistating. At the time a friend offered a bit of philosphy that helped him deal wih his loss. It helped me in my greeving and hopefully will help you and your family. He told me "When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." Stay strong, Roger would want that.
With deepest sympathy and greatest respect.

Dear Elizabeth, Josh, and Abigail, I would like to extend my sympathy to you at this time. Roger was a classmate of mine all through school in Holliston. Yes, he was in my high school homeroom too. He was a real nice boy and was pretty funny too. It saddens me that he is taken so early. I am sorry for this. Mr. Amati is right, your memories do become a treasure.

Dear Liz, Josh and Abby,
Bill, Devon and I want to extend our sympathy to your family during this difficult time. I will always remember Roger driving by our house with a smile and a wave. He was always so upbeat when we spoke. He will be missed. We will always remember going on the fishing tournament with all of you. It was a great time with fond memories.
God Bless!
